Important Discussion

Dear NCA families,

After the recent decision by the Idaho Charter School Commission to not allow any religious documents in our Academy, many people were left confused and frustrated.

At this time many of us do not know what steps to take to have questions answered, or let our voice be heard. In the PFA, we have a voice. Monday we will be discussing this topic, and have asked our Director of Operations/Founder Isaac Moffett to address us. He will give us ideas on how to go about expressing our concern and support to our Board of Directors. As a PFA we have the right and privilege to come together in discussion. Through this, we can find ways to express our desires to our local legislation, Board, and one another about what we want in our schools.

Tuesday our Board will be holding a special meeting to discuss what actions they want to take, if any, in light of the Charter School Commission's ruling. Mr. Moffett will explain to us how we can become involved and support our Board in their decision.

As a classical school, using original source documents is essential to our curriculum. What can we do? How do we keep the integrity of our curriculum with banning such documents? Although, our Board and Mr. Moffett are unable to discuss aspects of these topics on the recommendations of NCA’s legal counsel, there are some things we can discuss to keep us all informed, along with ways to support our Board in the tasks they have ahead of them.

Please join us! We are all in this together, and need to stand together to have our voice heard.

Join us on August 31, 2009 7p.m.
